This new local show about the doyenne of the kitchen, Margaret Fulton, opens at Theatreworks in St Kilda in just a couple of weeks. Starring the talented and gorgeous Amanda Lehpamer as Fulton, it looks very promising and very Australian.

It seems that everything old is new again for 80s band, Devo. They're in the midst of writing a musical, and are aiming for Broadway. Hmm ... I'll believe this one when I see it.

I Dreamed a Dream

A new English musical about the rise and rise of Susan Boyle, featuring a jukebox catalogue of her famous songs. This will do huge business, even moreso if 'La Boyle' comes out to do some concerts around the same time. God bless you, 'SuBo': keep releasing those albums, because it keeps me covered for Christmas and birthday gifts for my mother.
